Much like the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco Giants of 2010, or even the St. Louis Cardinals of 2011, the San Jose Sharks will be riding a high heading into the 2012 NHL Playoffs, giving themselves the perfect chance to make a run in the Western Conference.

The San Jose Sharks helped their playoff cause on Tuesday with their win over the Dallas Stars on the road, but barring any terrible turn of events, it is now time to look forward to who San Jose would want to see in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

San Francisco Giants' second baseman Freddy Sanchez will reportedly start the year on the disabled list, but even worse news for the Giants is that it appears Sanchez is nowhere close to suiting up and taking his place at second base for this team.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman confirmed the speculated news that Sanchez was DL-bound on Thursday, and it appears Sanchez' shoulder that was injured last season has not progressed to the extent that the Giants organization would have liked.

As if the San Francisco 49ers could not do any more to bolster their already impressive offseason, they added a little depth to their backfield on Tuesday by signing running back Brandon Jacobs and making this team lethal in a variety of different aspects of their game.

It seems like so long ago now that the team is in Spring Training, but the San Francisco Giants had quite an offseason.

They traded away a promising pitcher in Jonathan Sanchez for speed and offense in Melky Cabrera, and they trade pitching relief and aging speed in Ramon Ramirez and Andres Torres for an iffy Angel Pagan.

The team did all that while hunting for just the right amount of money to lock up their two franchise starting pitchers for several years. One was locked up, and the other's tenure in San Francisco is still hanging in the balance.

You can call it desperation, or you can call it panic, but the San Jose Sharks are playing terrific hockey right now. It just happens to be at the exact right time, as well, as the Sharks are in an ever-changing playoff scenario with five other teams to make the NHL playoffs.

So we know the San Jose Sharks have at least a little fire left in them. A gritty and determined win against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference will do that to a team, though, as the Sharks beat the Boston Bruins 2-1 on Thursday night at the HP Pavilion.

It looks like the two sides are closer to kissing and making up, as Comcast SportsNet Bay Area's Matt Maiocco is reporting that Jim Harbaugh and Alex Smith are "ironing things out."

The 49ers have an offer on the table for Smith for three years and $24 million, including $10 million guaranteed. The Miami Dolphins reportedly had been negotiating with Smith on Sunday, but the team signed David Garrard on Monday.

Smith was reportedly upset with the 49ers after they were in hard pursuit of Peyton Manning over the last week. Additionally, Smith was unhappy with San Francisco's first offer of three years for $24 million, including $10 million guaranteed.

The 49ers’ offer to free-agent QB Alex Smith remains on the table and has not been lowered or revoked, league sources said Monday. The sources said the team is confident Smith will opt to stay in San Francisco.

Smith visited Miami and is in contact with the Dolphins, but that move is being perceived around the league as a play for leverage. Other agents and GMs believe that the 49ers’ offer of $8 million per year is fair. San Francisco also presents the best chance for Smith to prosper on the field and off, with a system and roster suited to him and relatively weak divisional competition.

Manningham played last season for the New York Giants, making a clutch game-changing catch to extend the Giants' season on their way to a Super Bowl victory. He finished last season with 39 receptions for 523 yards.

Free agent quarterback Alex Smith is reportedly considering changing agents and it could meant the end of his career in San Francisco.

Smith, who took the 49ers to the NFC Championship last season, was not happy with San Francisco's contract offer last week and is now deciding on whether or not to pursue other opportunities with a different organization.

Spring Training is an excellent measure of how a team is currently built and will be built for the future. Many teams will plug in their future stars and prospects into the line-up rotation just to see if they can measure up to the hype against professional players, granted it is only Spring Training baseball.

The Golden State Warriors' search for a big man to play in the paint has officially made a stop with the Milwaukee Bucks' Andrew Bogut.

According to Marcus Thompson III of the Contra Costa Times, the Warriors are reportedly interested in the center to address their need in the post, a position that has not been legitimately filled for several years.

The 49ers went into this offseason needing a wide receiver, whether it was via free agency or the NFL Draft. Sunday, we found out that it may be via free agency, as the 49ers reportedly plan on working out Randy Moss in Santa Clara on Monday.

Moss has been out of football since 2010 when he played for the New England Patriots.

Rock bottom is such a harsh word to use for a team with so much talent and the playoff normality that this franchise and fan base have come to expect, but the word describes exactly how it feels these days to be around the San Jose Sharks.
